Brenton's Mr. Aqua 12 gallon long reef build

Thank you, If I can't get it to stop leaking it will just have to be moved into the sump, which would take up some coral growing space but oh well.

 

Neato build

 

We have water

Water test successful today! officially no leaks, finally figured out the problem with the Mag drive, well the o-ring on the face plate was completely twisted and crimped, well pulled out the o-ring set and found one that was slightly thicker and well, really seals well! YAY (I know the pictures look VERY blue, don't worry that's just the camera with the actinic lights, It's only slightly blue when you see it for real.


and the center island which comes out of the water, I really like the current layout

 

I like the current lay out as well.

Have any plans for the rock that is not completely submerged?

 

Thank you! Not as of yet, I may try to find something that would live on it and on occasion go into the water, however since it is not that big whatever I get can't need a whole lot of room. basically right now I have absolutely no idea.

 

Lights are far enough away perhaps you could secure a Mangrove to the rock.

 

Thanks Corailline, That's not such a bad idea, I'll have to think that one over...

 

Well exciting news and some not so exciting news!
The tank is fully set up and everything is moved in! I am so excited to now figure out where the corals will finally end up. The sad news, my birdsnest did not successfully make the move and some others are just barely starting to pull through tonight so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck!

Here is a terrible cell phone photo taken after the lights turned off just so I have something, better photos to follow soon once everything finds a more permanent place.

 

Looks FANTASTIC!!!!! Love the scape!

 

Birdnest are so picky sometimes.

Good luck to you.
